Unkindness of Ravens/JD Robertson + Band in Ottawa, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

Fully equiped Cubase studio. Looking for some ringers to play some parts on a pile of new material. If my influences call to you, please reach out if you're interested.
Looking for slick guitar lead tracks, unique sounding vocals for backups and possibly some lead parts. I play keyboards but not to the degree that some of my songs need. I am also hoping to get back to some live playing again as I had some time off for health reasons but am up and running again.
I am a singer, songwriter, producer, engineer

Influences

Joe Walsh(all of his career music), Bob Marley,Big Sugar, The Who, Black Crows, Steely Dan, Joe Strummer, Genesis( with Gabriel especially), Bowie, Beatles(how can you not, as song writers?) and too many others to name. I played for a living from '79 to '94 based out of Vancouver doing a lot of North American touring with numerous bands. Took a break for a few years till 2001 and built my studio in Ottawa and have played Bluesfest a few times and some other festivals, as well as some pub dates. Prefer to play mostly original mixed with a few choice remakes of songs. This makes pub dates difficult, but not impossible, if there is fresh material to back it up. Currently not practicing or performing, but hoping to finish new material and begin to do both again.

Members Of Band

Currently seeking players in Ottawa for a new compilation of originals. Am good with co-writing some things that are in limbo and need a second influence as well. A lot of beds are done for most of the new project.
